Shoutout to MRLBOYD MUSIC on AdTube for reacting to this song. After listening and reading the lyrics to half the song, he surmised that it was Billy Joel’s generation that started the fire (somewhere around the 7:35 mark).

Think this ones interesting, check out the lyrics to the song "New World" by Prince.
Funnily enough I was listening to this earlier tonight and thinking the exact same thing .
He said when he turned 40 he started writing things down that happened in his life. Before he knew it, a song was there and he ran with it.
Billy Joel is deep state. Friends with the Clintons, his hit song My Life was used as the theme song in Tom Hanks' breakout show Bosom Buddies (about cross-dressing btw). I always assumed that this and several other similar songs from the same time period were a result of a handler saying "try to incorporate these things into your music" and out of humor or laziness, he just threw the whole list into a single song.
To answer: Yes.
All the mind control that's fit to print.
